#18128: Enhancement to distinguish between Apple and non-Apple compilers -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: mlk@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: raimue@…, ryandesign@… (added) * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: For the record: We've had [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- dev/2009-January/007035.html a discussion about this] on macports-dev now, and explained to Michael about how ports can set configure.compiler if they want a particular gcc compiler, otherwise they get the default Apple compiler; how configure.cc et al get propagated to the configure script via environment variables like CC; and that if a particular software does not respect that environment variable at configure time, then it is the responsibility of the port maintainer to ensure that configure.cc still gets used, using methods such as setting the CC environment variable during the build phase too or if necessary by reinplacing in the Makefile. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18128#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
